Facebook’s Secret Sexy Past Revealed - We interview New York Times Best Selling author Ben Mezrich about his new book, The Accidental Billionaires - the secret past surrounding the birth of Facebook. Ben tells us the tale of how Facebook was formed as a Harvard prank one late night, and why the two best friends that founded the site became bitter enemies as they faced the growing pains of the world’s most famous social network. We also discuss how a ghost from Napster’s past found Facebook as a diamond in the rough, and introduced the social network to Silicon Valley, flipping the world on its ear in the process. Also, hear about the movie that is being based on The Accidental Billionaires Book.
